About this house rental

Perched overlooking Gun Point Cove, Sanctuary boasts stunning westerly views from a beautifully built Post & Beam style home in a private, wooded setting, perfect for your family vacation. The grounds are meticulously maintained with a lush lawn for children to play and a stone path to the dock and waterside deck, a perfect place for the whole family to gather! 

When you walk through the door, you will find a beautiful kitchen with everything you need to make a wonderful home-cooked Maine meal, a dining room with a propane fireplace that opens to an elevated deck overlooking the ocean, a perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee or tea, a living room with comfortable seating and a fireplace, a great sitting area to enjoy a good book, and a ground level family room with a TV and a new full bathroom with shower that opens to a path to the water. Upstairs on the second level, you will find the master bedroom with a full bathroom and plenty of closet space, another bedroom with closets, a third bedroom, and a shared full bathroom. On the third level, there are two small bedrooms. The ground floor, formerly offering a game room has been transformed into a 6th bedroom with queen bed and direct access to a full bathroom! You'll love all of the great places to gather, as well as the many quiet spaces to relax. 

On a perfect Maine summer day, you'll find yourself sitting on the waterside deck enjoying your favorite drink, basking in the warm sunshine, and swimming from the dock to explore all of the wonders of the coast of Maine! Sanctuary is located at the end of the road, so you will enjoy the peace and quiet and great morning and afternoon walks, while being just 15 minutes from all the amenities of Brunswick and the Harpswell Islands, offering many local restaurants, shops, and beaches.

Sanctuary boasts the perfect setting and location for your summer vacation and this oceanside home will surely call you back year after year.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great house and location! Water pressure was uneven for showering. We had been told that the kitchen would not be stocked with ingredients/spices/basic foods so we brought our own but found EVERYTHING there you could want or need. We shopped before arriving at the house since we did not want to go back and forth to Brunswick after checking in at 4PM, but if we had gone to the house first we would not have needed to buy such things as mustard, sugar, etc.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our time at this house in Harpswell! The views were amazing and the dock was perfect for swimming and hanging out! We happened to be there on a very hot week so not having Air Conditioning was a little tough for us BUT the house was equipped with many fans to keep us comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and had everything we needed for a family lobster bake. Thanks for a great stay!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love staying here. It’s a perfect location for people who like to swim - and we do! It’s a wonderful place for people to gather together without being on top of each other. It’s peaceful. There’s an osprey nest nearby. Favorite activity = sitting on the upper deck, watching the sunset.
